Vandals broke the lock on a signal control box Thursday night at the Nisky Center/ Pueblo intersections, which resulted in the shutdown of the traffic signal system.
The incident prompted the Public Works Department to issue a statement Friday saying tampering with traffic signal control boxes could lead to federal prosecution.
The release said other traffic control boxes have been vandalized too but gave no specifics.
